Say what you will about how great the Patriots are and that they have usurped the ’72 Dolphins in terms of dream seasons but don’t forget they cheat and, like our friend Barry Bonds, deserve an asterisk after this "record season."  Not wanting to talk about it (as I sit here and watch a show about them on CNBC) does not mean it did not happen.  Apologies for being a negative voice, but professional sports is in a seriously sad state.  Just check out the drama around the Seattle Sonics.
